change again

Gray, Sophie and I went out walking. Met Charlie and Bode on the edge of Atlantic Avenue. These two dogs, from Diane and Red Pilbin's kennel in New Hampshire are a delight.Sophie's fugue, her existential moment of yesterday forgotten.

change

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.

Virginia Woolf

Sophia has a ten year history of visiting beaches. When she is on the sand I know what she is going to do. Poetry in motion. She runs and the running sings.I took Sophie to the ocean yesterday and she surprised. She walked out in the water chest deep. She ignored my calls.She stood still for too long. She came back in. She sat. She walked back to the car.I hate change.

lame

Sophie lame from road salt. Quit walking on Prospect Street a mile from home. Tried to hitch. Tried to get a ride from the police. Ended up carrying her to Jane and Paul's. They drove her home.This dogboot seems to be answering, but not on the style level.

tremendous envelope

Highgate Cemetery

And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.--Judges 16:30
